Ok, the basic idea here is to identify the greatest Zappa album from each decade then to take the winners and pit them against each other in a final mind boggling, mustache twirling battle royal. Each poll will include both studio and live releases and there will be five polls: "the 60s", "the 70s", "the 80s", "the 90s (including posthumous)", and "the 2000s (all posthumous)". Any excuse for more Zappa in the forums, I say! Hot Rats took "the 60s" while "the 70s" went to the One Size Fits All and "the 80s" was taken by You Are What You Is in a stunning run off election. This week judgement will be passed on "the 90s (including posthumous)". Once again, you will be granted a weeks worth of seconds, minutes, hours, and days to decide.
Results:
"the 60s": Hot Rats (1969)
"the 70s": One Size Fits All (1975)
"the 80s": You Are What You Is (1981) -------------  Time always wins. |

Civilization Phaze III for me. You should include Zappa in the title. -------------

| Lather, though it actually belongs in the '70's batch of albums. But of course Warner Bros. and FZ were at war during the time. If I hadn't chosen Lather, I'd probably go with Make a Jazz Noise, or perhaps Best Band. |

A vote for The Yellow Shark.
An excellent, excellent, underrated album (that somehow has four votes already!).
Other noteables: The Best Band...Make A Jazz Noise...and Civilization Phase III. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
